Burnley vs Swansea

, KO: 15:00 Nov 10, 2024, Turf Moor
Swansea

Turf Moor sets the stage for Sunday's Championship battle as Scott Parker's high-flying Burnley welcome a determined Swansea City squad. The 3pm kickoff pits the defensively robust Clarets, perched 4th in the table, against Luke Williams' Swans who sit in 9th place.

Will it be Burnley who takes the spoils or will Swansea steal a result on the road? Let’s find out!

How the bookies view it: Burnley big favourites

The odds tend to align with the table standings for this game. With the home side installed as firm favourites, you can back them at 5/6 for the win on Sunday. This price reflects their fortress-like home form, with zero losses from 6 home games this season. But Swansea boasts a tempting price of 7/2, which is attractive given their back-to-back wins over Oxford Utd and Watford.

Head-to-head: Burnley largely dominant

Past meetings between these sides confirm that Burnley tends to get the better of Swansea – especially at Turf Moor. The last time they met here, Burnley swept the visitors by a score of 4-0! They’ve also beaten the Swans in three of the last five meetings, while Swansea’s only two wins came at home.

Players to watch: Josh Brownhill and Zan Vipotnik

Josh Brownhill has been the go-to man for Burnley all season. He has scored 5 goals in 13 games, although his thirst for goals appears to have calmed down in recent times. Then again, he is still right up there with the most prolific strikers in the EFL Championship this season.

Looking at Swansea’s squad, we can’t look much beyond Zan Vipotnik as a man who could help them grab some points here. He hasn’t blown the league apart with goals, but he has found the net on a couple of occasions when the Swans really needed him!

Predicted lineups

Parker has the luxury of selecting from a nearly full-strength squad for this fixture, with his defensive unit remaining largely unchanged. The Swans do have a few selection headaches, yet this is more about who could provide that cutting edge up front rather than any major injury concerns. Nevertheless, while Swansea have shown more squad changes and rotations, they seem to have found the right fit for the last couple of games.

Burnley possible starting lineup:

Trafford; Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Humphreys; Cullen, Brownhill; Koleosho, Laurent, Sarmiento; Flemming

Swansea possible starting lineup:

Vigouroux; Key, Cabango, Darling, Tymong; Grimes, Franco; Ronald, Allen, Bianchini; Vipotnik

Anything else catch the eye?

There are a few figures that jump off the page when you dig deeper into this fixture. Burnley's four clean sheets in six home games certainly stand out, while Swansea's struggles against top-half opposition – failing to score in five of six encounters – can't be ignored. 

The Clarets' knack for grinding out results at home, often by the odd goal, suggests backing a tight home win might be the right play for this one. Therefore, a handicap wager that covers this possible outcome or even the under 2.50 goals market is well worth considering.
